What is it that causes news companies to lose money because of Google and Facebook? I am still visiting their site to read the article. If you only read the headline, you aren't a serious consumer of news anyway.

On mobile, for example, some news sites are hosted via Google's AMP service. I think that's at least one of the avenues for this supposed 'misuse'.

I hope something good is implemented to favor local news agencies. I don't use facebook but I see how google get benefits of the other news channels. I mostly go to abc, news.com.au directly for news headlines. But I know lot of my friends use facebook for the latest news. This does not benefit the original content creator.
It's not local news pushing for this, it's being pushed by Murdoch's media empire. Based on the poor (some would say downright disgusting) quality of their content - they absolutely do not deserve even the funding they currently have.
This just feels like the old gatekeepers are envious of the new gatekeepers. Neither of them deserve sympathy for the actions, however NewsCorp and Nine Entertainment might the first ones to buckle under this.
Australian here. We really are the testing ground for draconian laws to be tested and proven out before it makes its way to the west.

So the other shoe has finally dropped: If it hasn't been apparent to everyone yet, the vast majority of "anti-tech"/anti-FB articles has been the dying gasps of attempted relevance from an antiquated media ecosystem. Old media is upset and angry that they no longer have a monopoly on controlling the narrative. They're scared that their business model is no longer viable. They're worried about their loss of credibilit…
It's not at all wrong to be concerned about the diversity of the news and ad ecosystem and what Facebooks or others role is in vacuuming up economic rents due to sheer size.

I don't really watch the news and not from Australia originally even though I live here, so forgive my stupid question: is there local news in Australia? I've never heard of any.
I would say local newspapers and radio are the majority of local news sources though.

I would predict that in this case, Facebook is probably right that news content could be excised from Australia without much cost to the company. It may hasten the demise of the old media in Australia.
